A Festival of Artistic Research (Graz, 5–7 October 2017) Artistic research is currently a much-talked about and highly innovative field of know- ledge creation which combines artistic with academic practice. One of its central features is ambitious artistic experiments exploring musical and other questions, systematically bringing them into dialogue with reflection, analysis and other academic approaches. ARTikulationen, a two-and-a-half day festival of artistic research that has been running under that name since 2016, organised by the Artistic Doctoral School (KWDS) of the Uni- versity of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), expands the pioneering format deve- loped by Ulf Bästlein and Wolfgang Hattinger in 2010, in which the particular moment of artistic research – namely audible results, which come about through a dynamic between art and scholarship that is rooted in methodology – becomes something the audience can understand and experience. In Alfred Brendel, Georg Friedrich Haas and George Lewis, the festival brings three world- famous and influential personalities and thinkers from the world of music to Graz as key- note speakers. George Lewis will combine his lecture with a version of his piece for soloist and interactive grand piano. The presentations at ARTikulationen encompass many different formats such as keynotes, lecture recitals, guest talks, poster presentations and a round table on practices in artistic research.

  • THE MUSIC DREAMLAND QUARTET (1997, Revised in 2006)

Lento 6:10 2 II Delicamente e cantado 14:46 3 Pendar (for solo violin) (Tafreshipour) 6:44 4 Broken Times (for string quartet) (Tafreshipour) 9:38 Farãghi (In Absentia) (for violin and cello) (Majd) 21:10 5 I Mesto, molto lento 14:10 6 II Animato, ma non troppo allegro, relentlessy 6:59 Total playing time: 58:29 Darragh Morgan, violin (all tracks) Patrick Savage, violin (tracks 1-2, 4) Fiona Winning, viola (tracks 1-2, 4) Deidre Cooper, cello (tracks 1-2, 4-6) THE MUSIC DREAMLAND QUARTET (1997, revised in 2006) Dreamland is in two movements; the first acting as a lento introduction to the second movement which is designated as “Delicatamente e cantando,” – delicate with a singing lilt. The opening theme of the second movement is a predominant cyclic or ever-returning factor, assuming various transformations, also present in the finale “lento espressivo” section, as an undercurrent to the expressive romantic melody of the first violin. The thematic materials often evoke a certain mood or feeling associated with the Iranian Dastgah music, and include the use of microtones. In the title “Dreamland,” dream is meant to be understood as “maya” or illusion. Dreamland had its premiere in New York in May 2008, performed by members of the Bãrbad Chamber Orchestra, with Cyrus Beroukhim as its first violin, and Rãmin Heydarbeygi as its music director. Majd PENDAR for violin (2017) Pendar is a series of compositions for solo instruments.

  • Michael Nyman
    Michael Nyman Michael Nyman es uno de los compositores británicos más innovadores y aclamados, cuyo trabajo abarca operas, cuartetos de cuerda, bandas sonoras y conciertos orquestales. Mucho más que un mero compositor, es además intérprete, director, pianista, escritor, musicólogo, fotógrafo y cineasta. Considerado como un “hombre del renacimiento”, su inquietud creativa y su polivalencia artística le han convertido en uno de los iconos culturales más fascinantes e influyentes de nuestro tiempo. Michael Nyman (nacido el 23 de marzo de 1944) es un pianista, musicólogo y compositor minimalista, conocido sobre todo por las obras escritas durante su larga colaboración con el cineasta británico Peter Greenaway . Nyman (que estudió con el académico Thurston Dart, experto en música barroca en el King's College de Londres) se ha inspirado frecuentemente en Música antigua en sus composiciones para los largometrajes de Greenaway: Henry Purcell en El contrato del dibujante y El cocinero, el Ladrón, su Esposa y su Amante, El piano , Heinrigh Ignaz Franz von Biber en Zoo (A Zed & Two Noughts), Mozart en Conspiración de mujeres (Drowning by Numbers) y John Dowland en Prospero's Books . Su popularidad se disparó después de componer la banda sonora de la galardonada película de Jane Campion El piano (1993). La película no fue nominada por la Academia a pesar de haberlo sido por la Academia Británica y para el Globo de Oro. Ha compuesto bandas sonoras para muchos otros filmes, la gran mayoría de ellos obras de autores independientes europeos. Sus pocas incursiones en la composición de bandas sonoras para Hollywood han sido Gattaca , Ravenous (con Damon Albarn) y The End of the Affair .

But throughout my composing life I have found myself continually looking to composers from the past in order to create something new. This disc of chamber orchestral, chamber and solo piano music is united by the theme of ‘homage’: each piece, although I hope clearly recognisable as my own, involved immersing myself in the language of another composer in order to write it. Stolen Rhythm would have been impossible without generous funding from Arts Council England, The Fidelio Charitable Trust, The Ambache Charitable Trust, The Ralph Vaughan Williams Trust, The Winship Foundation and the Hildon Foundation. I am eternally, tremendously grateful to Mary and David Bowerman for their continued support of my music.
